Poem #51 from a series of meditations: the Pilgrim
Back to the Pilgrim – Introduction
answer the question
pilgrim
are you greater or lesser
for having judged
if you judge fairly
you are no more
than you have ever been
but if you err
pilgrim
by harshness or haste
perhaps through ignorance
what then
let your first consideration
examine the need f
or such opinions
let your next explore
the advantages
of a pause
before conclusion
